THE FREEDOM OF LABOR.

Thirty-six brewers in New York and Brook
Ign, representing a large amount of capital
and great many workmen, have jointly
issued circular defining their position to-
wards the trades unions on the question of
employing union non-union workmen.
The brewers say there is no question Of wages
between them and their employees, and they
have no desire or disposition to draw the line
against union men, but they refuse to be
dictated to as to whom or what class Of work
men they shall employ. They assert their
right and declare their intention to employ
good workmen, such as their business REQ uires,
and such as they can make satisfactory terms
with, without regard to the fact whether they
belong to any trade-union or not. In short,
they unite in declaring their independence of
any and all dictation from outside sources in
regard to the conduct of their business. The
New York Commercial Advertiser, comment
ing on the circular, says:
''That is the assertion of the American
idea, pure and simple, and it is so plainly Just
and right that only the blindness of arrogant
despotism would for momen think of dis
permission of voluntary organ ization of men
before hiring a capable workman, and must
confine his hiring to members of that organi-
zation. and must discharge any workman in
his employ at the command of that orgariza-
ton, then employers are not free men, as the
Declaration of Independence asserts they are,
and as the Constitution and laws of the land
guarantee that they shall be-"
To this we may add that the establishment
of the opposite principle would make slaves of
non union workmen as we'll as of employers,
and as the number of non-union workmen in
the United States greatly exceeds the num-
Der of those in the unions, it would be to
that extent the enslavement of labor The

believes they have done much good in some
respects, and may still be the instruments of
good if rightly managed and confined to their
proper sphere and line of action. But when
they undertake to dictate to employers whom
they shall employ and whom not they clearly
exceed their rights and ignore those Of others
1t is position they cannot permanently
maintain, simply because it is opposed to the
American idea of fair play and equal rights.

Our Recent City Election.


The Democratic party and Sim Coy's gang
were snowe ed under in the Indianapolis election,
and Republicanism and pure government scored
one of the greatest victories in Indiana
Never in the history of our State has there been
such great interest in a municipal election, and
nevey has the defeat of q political party been
disastrous. The very utterances of tho Demo-
cratic leaders gave the election national sgnfi-
cance and it was accepted in this light by the
Republicans of Indianapolis The election was
a glorious victory. 1t showed that the people
heartily sick of Democrat tic corruption and
misrule They will endure OF it in
Indianapolis. and the inference is clear that the
State will pass into the hands of the Repub licans
by an even moro decisive victory than the one
herein referred to.

Col. B. b. SMALLEY. the Democratic boss

per cent. of the federal offices in Vermont
filled with Democrats. he is feeling tolorably
happy. In an interview the other day, he
said, with the utmost gravity, that he be-
lieved in the doctrine that there should be
few changes in the public service. This re-
mark excited amazement, and he added:
Certainly you would not expect me to advo-
cate any changes in the State of Vermont.
There may be few minor changes there
which ought to be made. That is a few
more Republicans to be turned out But we
are now in the same position that the Repub-
iican party was in when the Democrats came
Into power. They had all the Offices and were
opposed to changing. Now that we have the
Offices we arc opposed to changing" That is
the humorous way of putting it. but there is
another view. When all the offices are filled

Examination of these returns shows that
in four precincts the Democrats gained, in
this election; in two of them there was no
change; in two of them the Democrats lost.
The total for the eight precincts shows a
Democratic gain of one hundred against
Republican gain of ninety-eight. Wherein

If any further proof of the futility of this
claim be needed, it will be found in the fact
